Gum Therapy

Revelstoke Dental Centre in Revelstoke, BC provides gum grafting for patients looking to restore receding gums by thickening the area around the teeth.

What is gum grafting?

Gum grafting is necessary to rebuild lost gum tissue. It is a procedure that thickens gums by placing gum from one area of the mouth into another where gum tissue has receded. This procedure may be necessary to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of gum recession. You may also decide to have gum graft for aesthetic purposes.

If you notice that some of your teeth have started to look longer or you frequently experience sensitivity to hot and cold, your gums could be receding, and a portion of your tooth's root is exposed. Gum recession occurs gradually, and it may sneak up on you. Gum grafting treatment for receding gums can help prevent any further loss of gum tissue.

We're accepting new patients! If you have any questions or would like to book an appointment, please contact us.

Dental Tips

We highly recommend a custom mouth guard be worn while playing any physical sports. A properly-fitted sports mouth guard can cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth, injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth and even help prevent concussions.
